Summary

Strategic, execution-focused leader with 15+ years of experience driving communications, organizational, and engagement strategies for senior executives and global businesses. Expertise spans corporate communications, operational leadership, employee engagement, and brand reputation management across healthcare, life sciences, and public sector organizations.

Early in my career, I supported Mayor Edward G. Rendell as Scheduler, managing complex schedules during a pivotal period of city revitalization. I later founded and led Black Diamonds Marketing Group, where I advocated for retired Negro League legends and secured a historical marker in Philadelphia. These experiences shaped my operational discipline, stakeholder management, and entrepreneurial leadership style.

A trusted advisor to C-suite executives, I blend strategic thinking with operational rigor to drive results, align teams, and enable executive success. Known for leading cross-functional initiatives, managing sensitive communications, and translating vision into actionable outcomes.
